I figured chickens didn’t need cracked corn because of their gizzards being able to grind whole grain.
Knowing that there is a nutritional loss when cracked corn ages it didn’t make sense to me nutritionally.
I feed whole grain Indian corn as a treat. Apparently it has higher protein levels...
Ok, you responded to the question “what’s the advantage of cracked versus whole grain”. I guess it didn’t read that part? The styrofoam comparison was pretty funny though.
Just curious… is there some kind of advantage to feeding cracked corn versus whole grain?
I thought my 7 week chicks might be too small for whole grain corn, but they seem to relish it and are thriving IMO.
